Shorter Turn Times

Ok this might have been mentioned before but I said hey what the hell!!
I think that it would improve the game if we had shorter times as in 15 minutes not 30 as it is at the moment..
Don't get me wrong here I love the game but I find it takes way to long for things to happen.. And I think that everyone would benefit if times were shortened between turns..
But that's just me, whats everyone else's opinion??

somebody just wants more attack turns:P
i think 30 mins is fine... you want faster try chaos... 20 mins...
personally if it was any faster i wouldnt have the time in the day to play to keep up

Not turns really I dont mind about those, I'm more on about Naq Production, with more naq you can do more yanno!!
Dont really want to start a new account in Chaos, don't have time to start it!! But if the SGW was faster that'd be cool!!
Also people wouldn't be attacked as much cos everyone would have the same naq!!!

I have enough mining units for the time being, its just I want to be able to move the game along faster, I find I have to leave it for a few hours so I can do something, it just gets boring and I've only been playing since last September!!
I don't have the patience for this pace!! And I definatly don't have the patience for starting off a new account in chaos!
I love playing the game but it moves wayyyy to slow for my liking!!

try running accounts in all 4 servers
main
quantum
chaos
ascended (accessed through main)
the game moves at a great pace

Like I said I don't have the patience for it, even if the shortened time changes were for one month only that would be cool, or even one week out of the month!!

stop bugging the poor dude about this. i think this ida is a good idea. it would save turns. cus i get a bit carried away wit my turns. and it would help me a hell lot wit conserving em. im tired of using the market so much. and not increasing my army size. wit using uu all the time.

Thanks bud, like even if we got this on a trial run or something, cos well I have to wait nearly 2 days before I can even do anything on the market which is kinda annoying..
I don't attack people anymore unless they have something like 10 billion in the kitty.. Not worth it...
I just find it so slow...

This used to be a popular topic in the early days and it was made clear then that it wouldn't happen. Besides, DarthYoda IS correct - if you want more naq to move the game along - then invest in producing more. I fuind it very odd that in one post you say you want more naq to move the game along, then in the next you say you have enough mining units.
Also, I find it very (VERY) hard to believe that it is not worth you attacking someone unless they have 10 billion in the kitty!! - If that were actually true then your account SHOULD be sufficiently good enough to turn out it's own decent naq production per turn! If your account does not produce a decent amount of naq per turn, but your strike is sufficiently high that only attacking 10 billion naq targets is profitable, then i would suggest that you haven't been very clever in the way that you have built your account.
Why should the game be changed now because some newer players do not have the patience to wait for things to happen - learn to actually play the game and build your account, rather than wanting everything straight away, handed to you on a plate! There was a time when the likes of me and Ghosty Goo were in competition to see who would be the first to be able to afford 1 top weapon PER DAY!!! - Now that was slow!!!
You have admitted yourself that you do not have the patience to play as it is currently - but increasing the rate turn would only be a short term solution to that anyway, as pretty soon you would be back to the same situation. Unfortunately patience is required for this game.

Well that certainally put me back in my box..
I see where you come from, and to be honest with ya I love playing it and its a great aul game, but your right about me being a whiney little so and so..
Fact of the matter is I do have a useless account and I'm trying to repair it haha but it's taking soooo long to do that..
J.S. is put back in his box and sits quietly untill his next turn comes up

we definitely dont want that to happen - naq production was doubled once, and we all saw what happened.
im afraid to even think where would numbers go if it would be done again.
plus it pretty much halves the value of everything you have done since the time itd be introduced

if you think about it making turns per 15minutes wont help you really
everyone will make double per day everyone will double there stats and you'll be in the same place
but with only shorter turns and no sleep at all
